ed acknowledg dgment last week of
beautiful paper weight received from
the far-off Lone Star State. 1t is
cube of q inches, bearing on its top
one of the JOURNALS passwords,
81. B. o." 1t is cut out of Texas
marble-a product of which both its
native and adopted children are very
proud. 1t was one of the latter that
so kindly remembered the JOURNAL
Thomas H. Hamill, the eldest son of
our Mine Inspector.
We must beg correspondents to write
legibly and carefully as they can. 1t
is great task for us to revise and
correct closely written, badly con-
structed MSS,
The JOURNAL is behind all the other
papers in presenting the levy list.
But there is good reason for it--a
reason which, once given, would also
explain why it is the boss presentation
geographically of the county's busi-
ness affairs.
Alfred Jeffries, collector, gives time

more and Philadelphia. Round tick
cts from and to Cumberland, $3.50,
good for 10 days with stop-over priv
ilege at Washington returning. See
C. B. Wack, C. & P. agent at this
place.
Joseph Timmens has added to his
grocery outfit huge peanut roaster.
1t is very ingenious contrivance, and
does its work so effectively that a pea
nut, landed in the stomach from the
machine, is ready for instantaneous
digestion. 1t roasts the peanuts and
keeps them warm for you until eaten.

The town officers should prohibit

The Cumberland and Pennsylvania
railroad have new depot on paper

the architect, has arranged for three
rooms, u commodlous platform, and
altogether a structure which will re-
feet credit upon the company, please
the people and accommodate the trav-
cling public. In this connection the
Cumberland Times says sit would not
be bad idea if that road should go on
and tear down the depots at Frostburg
and Mt. Savage, and erect buildings
in their places worthy the pencil of
Mr.. Hamilton"
